A day of madcap fundraising events organised by the Tir Na Nog pub raised more than £1,400 for the Charing Cross Hospital Dialysis Unit last Sunday.

Punters and staff from the pub began the day with a three-legged race down Garratt Lane, downing a drink and collecting money in each bar they passed.

The fun then continued back at Tir Na Nog with sponsored chest shaves some even going the whole hog and shaving their heads. There was also a raffle of a shirt and ball signed by David Beckham.

Manager Paul Kelly said: "It was a really mad day, especially when we got back after the race, there was people doing all kinds of crazy things to raise money."
